corivus Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 yup pcv is done along with vacuum hoses which where waaaaay to brittle, next is to switch to silicon intercooler hoses along with the radiator hoses. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corivus Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Ended up having the HG go bad on me and after a lot of back and forth I decided to do an engine swap with the help of a friend because I got all kinds of crazy quotes, and nutty statements from other sources or people that just plain fell through on me, we got it to fire up last Friday but a few odds and ends had to be replaced I pick it up from my friend's place on Friday I'm excited It feels like we've put a lot of work into it over the past couple of weeks since we have only been working on one day out of the week. In reality we have all of 13 working hours into everything. I'm sure if I did this again in the future we could cut all of it down significantly. Here's what been updated New engine from a 95 850R Silicone Vacuum Hoses New Radiator hoses IPD Short Ram intake Snabb Intake New Poly Motor and Poly Transmission Mounts New Dash from 95 850R R Tune ECU cv boots replaced transmission seals replaced new power steering pump and lines blacked out grill side marker signals Climate Control Computer Climate control module Both Heater Hoses heater hose firewall pass through Heater Fan Blower Climate control unit Thermostat Expansion Tank Coolant Expansion tank cap Silicone intercooler lines I discovered a few things that could wait till later to fix and those will be next up to replace and those were Cruise Control Pump, Horn Buttons, Horn Ring, and the odometer bezel gear. After pulling the dash that dash pad is stupid easy to remove and so is the steering wheel. Next up: Relocate horns newer egg crate grill Headliner sag repaired new shocks Replace Seat upholstery Silicone intercooler lines NA TB and 960 TB plate NA Intake Repaint of bumper and lower trim Either Get bottom half of 3rd Row seat or remove and put in the inserts without the third row seats clear turn signals There is probably a lot more that I've missed, but since today, I will post pictures when I get it back and detail the process which was a bit of a journey for me to say the least :| Edited January 4, 2012 by corivus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getspooled Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Glad you decided to give us an update after two years! Look forward to the pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corivus Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 updating with "I drove it from here to there" wasn't so interesting, it was mostly just saving bits and pieces here and there once I had done enough I figured I'd update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamdrives Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Didn't know the Turbo's came with the Cetus wheels. I have some Volans or Columbas you might like better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corivus Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 They don't that was something the PO did but I haven't been on the lookout for rims yet, when i do I'm thinking volans or tritons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamdrives Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I would recommend Volans IMG_0661 by adamshoots, on Flickr 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corivus Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I def like the look of volan's and it seems harder to find tritons out here :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corivus Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 So removed the old dash because anytime you'd accelerate the whole dash would come forward, my glove box was kinda sagging and I realized that the frame of the old dash was very much broken. Picked up a "newish" dash from a local member had to rebuild a few parts, but nothing some aluminum a rivet gun and a cutter couldn't fix. After about 30 minutes later we were ready to take the old dash out. removed the dashpad and this bit crumbled: after that we sorta pulled it out in chunks because it was basically destroyed and were left with this. at this point I took the time to replace my Climate Control Computer, Climate control module, and heater hose firewall pass through, with those replaced it was time to put the new dash in. I'm pretty happy with the results and there's a few things here and there that I'll need to replace down the road but it feels pretty nice to have a dash that doesn't move forward or creak or snap when you open the glove box. Sorry if the photos are blurry these are taken with my cell phone. As I said I pick it up on Fri and will take pictures over the weekend of how it looks afterwards when everything is in.

corivus Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm planning on it I'd rather have it running top notch before doing that however 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corivus Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 had a chance to take a few better shots, not going to post a lot of them because really a stock volvo 850 turbo is just that I haven't washed it yet mostly because I want to make sure all the odds and ends are done and then after that I'll have a full detail done, but it handles really well, just gotta get those bits listed earlier done and then I'll look into rims or going lower. I also picked up a set of blue led interior bulbs from prezman a while back and they light up the car in a bit more fun way. I may just switch to ultra whites eventually though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
